Economics of Disrespect .

Andre Willers17 Nov 2014Synopsis :Loss of Respect has profound economic implications . Severe loss of income , capital and heads . Discussion :1.Respect .Who do you Respect ?Seehttp://andreswhy.blogspot.com/2013/11/respect.html

2.Once respect is lost , laws are no longer obeyed .Taxes become nearly impossible to collect except at armed-robbery level .2.1 Modern West : The Governed had withdrawn consent . http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Social_contract (Democracy by vote)2.2 In China , Mandate of Heaven played the same role . http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mandate_of_Heaven TheMandate of Heavenis anancient Chinesebelief andphilosophical ideathat god (;Tian) granted emperors theright to rule based on their ability to govern well and fairly.2.3 Celts , norse , Vikings , Amerindians : He has lost his Luck2.4 Ancient Egypt , MiddleEast , Right of Kings , etc : Legitimacy is bestowed by the god(s) . After many disasters , the Gods have turned against him (Cf Akhnaton) 3.If the ruler does not perform , he (or his dynasty) gets the old heave-ho .The mechanisms vary as per the society , but is exceptional that a whole population will follow a ruler into extinction . 4.The steps :4.1 Loss of Respect .4.2 Loss of Fear4.3 Active Defiance4.4 Refusal to pay Taxes . 4.4.1 Diversion of Ex-Taxes into Alternative Economy (this is Black Market , smuggling , informal sector , etc)4.5 Armed resistance to tax collectors . 4.5.1 This is funded by higher returns from efficiencies of informal sector . Near zero overheads .4.6 Guerilla War4.7 Full scale rebellion .4.8 New Dynasty/King/President/Chief .4.9 The cycle repeats .

5. New Alternative Economy : The Ostrum Principles .Seehttp://andreswhy.blogspot.com/2014/06/the-quiet-revolution.html The old formal Sector is simply ignored .

6.Estimate from fundamental principles :If present societies are somewhere on the scale of 4.4 4.7 as above , then one would expect tax evasion to be fairly mature .If the old society still exists , it must still have access to taxes on the Reserve in the economy . That is 1/3 of Real GDP

Estimated Real Global GDP (2014) : $233 Trillion .

6.1Formal global GDP2014 (http://www.statista.com/statistics/268750/global-gross-domestic-product-gdp/ ) $77.6 Tr (1/3)6.2Informal Global GDPest from Reserve Principles( https://www.academia.edu/6257841/Infinite_probes_II ) $155.2 Tr (2/3)6.3Total Global Economy 2014 $232.8 Tr (3/3)

7. Ostrum Societies are Terminators .The cycle does not repeat once this stage has been reached .See http://andreswhy.blogspot.com/2011/06/melatonin-and-dinosaurs.htmlon how a true Terminator works . Terminators prevent a recurrence .

8.Ostrum societies outperforms traditional ones once the Dunbar Limit has been exceeded.This displaces the old paradigms , as well as prevents any recurrence .See http://andreswhy.blogspot.com/2014/11/be-your-own-owner.html

9. Historically :Any minority group lording it over the majority always enforced Respect .Examples are everywhere Sir , Massa , Boss , Baas , Magister , etc , etc . As old and as nauseating as history . See http://www.collinsdictionary.com/dictionary/english-thesaurus/bossThey knew full well that any insolence is the first step to their ruin .

10. Where are we in Nov 2014 ?Economic dominance is the frailest of masterships .The coming Deflation is going to be bad for middle and upper classes that cannot adapt to the loss of large organizations .See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1920s_Berlin for an actual case history .

The Global Real Economy is in fair shape . It is the upper levels of the old Economy that are in deep doo-doo .

11.The New Paradigm will gleefully feast on the old one .The tigers of wrath are wiser than the horses of instruction.William BlakeThis exactly describes a post-revolutionary period .

12. What does all this mean ?Revolution and rebellion . Respect has been lost . The rest follows .

13.If you are SuperRich , get unrich fast . Like Gates and Buffett . Sheer survival for their grandchildren See http://www.politico.com/magazine/story/2014/06/the-pitchforks-are-coming-for-us-plutocrats-108014.html A multi-billionaires cautionary .

And the Bilderbergers , Illuminati , etc ? Any Washington , Napoleon , Trotsky , Ataturk etc can and have seen them off .See http://andreswhy.blogspot.com/2012/12/biderbergerssuperheroes-or-supervillains.html

George Washington made short work of the IlluminatiSee http://andreswhy.blogspot.com/2012/03/george-washington.html

14. The ordinary person ?Get any practical skill you can .The intelligentsia have proven themselves incompetent to run even a simple society .So the society will go simple .Hairdressing will get you a job in any era . See http://andreswhy.blogspot.com/2008/04/combs-andre-willers-24-april-2008_30.htmlPlumbing , nursing , beautician , any personal service .Robots will be making everything . We are looking at a Leisure Consumption society with no idea of how to do it . So , teach it .This is what Kim Kardashian is doing . Pay attention ! You will need it . See Appendix K .

Bespoke anything .For example , http://andreswhy.blogspot.com/2014/10/cushions-of-destiny.html
